Freedon Nadd runs the gauntlet

Been talking about this guy on swforums recently. How far does he get, with full rests in btwn? all battles take place in lord vitiate's fortress in space. Please state your reason for where he fails/if he clears

1. Darth Baras
2. PoD Bane
3. DoE Zannah
4. Count Dooku
5. Prime Revan
Boss: Mace Windu

Losses at three.

How so?

Nadd's too unknown for me to judge. He might not even get past Baras. Who knows.

Since we all love taking KOTOR/TOR statements out of hand it is stated that Freedon Nadd was a lot nastier than Revan and Malak was combined.

kk, lemme post some Nadd crap, based off of what I know bout him:
freedon Nadd was a very impressive lightsaber duelist, fighting on-par with Matta Tremayne, his master, whom was considered a master lightsaber duelist. As a sith lord, his lightsaber skills only improved, and he gained near-unparalleled combat experience. he also has a sith magic enhanced blaster, which as of KOTOR II, has killed more jedi than any lightsaber. He was a master sith sorceror, having mastery over the fear spell, and could utilize dark healing. He also used some form of TK, being able to force push vodo baas from across the galaxy. I say he can make it to 4.

No, a random Mandalorian says he was worse than either Revan or Malak.

Wait, whats that about his blaster?

"A vile weapon that once belonged to Freedon Nadd, this blaster has killed more Jedi then any lightsaber."

Daymn! Thats a lot of Jedi considering, you know, Tulak Hord and everything.

lol. Well honestly Zaanah as of DoE was pretty badass, tendrils and crap. Can't picture Nadd beating her, especially due to his lack of exposure.

True, I can't see Nadd getting through her lightsaber defense when even Bane was struggling to, Godblaster or not.

Good thing Hord never killed thousands of Jedi then.

✅

Even assuming thats true for the sake of not having an argument over it, his killcount would still have to have been in the hundreds imo.

Hundreds of Jedi? Why?

Nadd is, in my opinion, on par with Zannah, for sure. In lightsaber combat, stalemating a master duelist whilst still a jed knight (note: he becomes quite a bit more powerful as the reigning dark lord) is more impressive than defeating set harth, and a distracted jedi. Although Bane struggled with breaking through Zannah's near-impenetrable defense, she's an absolute joke when mounting a lightsaber offensive. Another problem Zannah has is a lack of tactical acumen. As for the force, they are both masters of sith sorcery, so this'd prolly be a tie. Ultimately, I give it to Nadd, since I think he could win if i factored in his sith-magic blaster into this "equation."

Fighting armies of Jedi 1000+ strong and soloing a siege. Even if you don't buy that siege was a thousand Jedi strong, it'd need to be a hundred or so since, you know, its a ****ing siege.

Why must the siege include solely Jedi?

YouTube video

2.30 "The Jedi had laid siege." "Leaving nothing but Jedi blood in his wake."

"Khem Val devoured the life-energy from thousands of Jedi in ancient battles fought in Yn and Chabosh."

Anyways, whacho peeps think about the actual gauntlet?

If he doesn't lose at 3, then he could possibly clear. Though I won't go so far as to say Nadd>Dooku/Mace just yet.

I would have thought that Tulak Hord lived after Freedon Nadd, 'cause, you know, Hord couldn't have been before Sadow because they had made no contact with the Jedi until then since the Hundred Year Darkness, and it couldn't have been before Exar Kun since there really was no Sith Empire until then. Yet, it had to be before Knights of the Old Republic, so it's kinda messed up. Tulak Hord existed in a different universe or something.

It does indeed not make sense.

There is one other contact of note- shortly after the Hundred Years Darkness, some of the exiles came back around for another go at the Jedi. Their leader was Baron Remulus Dreypa, not Tulak, and what happened is they ran into a band of Jedi who had ideas of finishing off the exiles. They fought to a draw and ended up on Kesh, future home of the Lost Tribe of the Sith. Also, obviously, not eligible.

Hm... maybe the destruction of the Empire during Sadow's time wasn't complete, and Tulak lead a pyrrhic defense or something before being completely destroyed? That's... about the only place I can think of to even shoehorn him in, because we know the identity of every major Sith Lord who fought the Jedi up into the KotoR era and even beyond. It's only past that point that we start getting gaps in the records.

Or, was he just one who never fought the true Jedi? Perhaps the 'Jedi' he faced were fellow students of the 12 Dark Jedi Exiles, who simply chose to keep the name Jedi while he was aligned with the faction who preferred the name Sith.

Hm... if I wrote it, that's how I'd smooth him into the timeline. After the first generations of exiles, two factions rise, and I'd put him in charge of the winning one.
